Event Update For 2017-08-13





The seas, lakes and oceans are now pluming deadly hydrogen sulfide and suffocating methane. Hydrogen sulfide is a highly toxic water-soluble heavier-than-air gas and will accumulate in low-lying areas. Methane is slightly more buoyant than normal air and so will be all around, but will tend to contaminate our atmosphere from the top down. These gases are sickening and killing oxygen-using life all around the world, including human life, as our atmosphere is increasingly poisoned. Because both gases are highly flammable and because our entire civilization is built around fire and flammable fuels, this is leading to more fires and explosions. This is an extinction level event and will likely decimate both the biosphere and human population and it is debatable whether humankind can survive this event.



A. More fires and more explosions, especially along the coasts, but everywhere generally.
B. Many more animal die-offs, of all kinds, and especially oceanic species.
C. More multiples of people will be found dead in their homes, as if they'd dropped dead.
D. More corpses found in low-lying areas, all over the world.
E. More unusual vehicular accidents.
F. Improved unemployment numbers as people die off.

http://www.ndtv.com/india-news/man-saves-wife-two-children-from-burning-car-fails-to-escape-1737181

Quote: "A 38-year-old businessman from Bengaluru was charred to death when a car he was driving caught fire at Madukkarai in Coimbatore in the early hours of Sunday. The man died inside the car as he could not unlock the seatbelt and escape."

Quote: "Dileep Kumar, a Bengaluru-based jeweller, along with his family was going to Kochi from the city when his car’s engine suddenly caught fire near a toll gate at Madukkarai area early on Sunday morning, they said. He managed to push his wife and two children out of the car. However, he could not unfasten his seat belt on time and was burnt to death as the flames spread rapidly, the police said."

Note: A van just burst into flame and incinerated six people and injured five more the day prior in coastal Karachi too, mentioned in the 2017-08-12 update. Best to carry something in your vehicle at all times with which to break windows and cut seatbelts, else you could end up dying the same way as this man, which has got to be a highly unpleasant way to die...

A minivan had a small fire on its underside and firefighters quickly extinguished it. At 10:19 two crews went to the 800 block of Third Avenue SW and saw smoke coming from the passenger side of an SUV. The fire had been already extinguished and crews checked the vehicle for any other other hot spots."

2017-08-13 - Car bursts into flame, ignites brush fire, on the Cuesta Grade (California):
http://www.ksby.com/story/36126441/car-fire-on-cuesta-grade-reported-flames-dont-spread-to-hillside

Quote: "Another car fire was put out by fire crews on the Cuesta Grade Sunday afternoon. The fire was called in at about 11 a.m., at an estimated 100 yards from Cuesta Summit. California Highway Patrol says the engine unexpectedly caught fire, and officials are still determining the cause. The fire started pretty close -- if not in the same place -- as a previous car fire, however, CHP says there is no relation to the previous incident."

Note: Lots of vehicles bursting into flame and starting brush fires this year, and especially in California. This problem will only get worse...

Quote: "An aircraft not originally scheduled to land in Knoxville made an emergency landing for mechanical repairs at McGhee Tyson Airport Sunday afternoon, according to a Delta Airlines representative. The pilot elected to divert the plane due to an odor, according to a Delta airlines representative."

Quote: "Delta told Local 8 News one of the 149 passengers complained that an unusual odor was circulating throughout the cabin."

Note: I've lost track of how many passenger planes have been hit by unknown odors just in the last month alone. This problem will only get worse...

  1. Wow, more 'weird' stuff burning to add to the ever-growing list. Here we have an unused, unplugged and probably rusting refrigerator sitting in a garden (why?), and yet another water-using appliance burning up - the FIRST washing machine fire I ever heard of! Great catch, Jonny.

    There's more about the ocean receding in an article further down in this first comment (on zeta).

    Arctic Sea Ice Break Up August 2017

    The thickest sea ice in the Arctic Ocean is located close to the north of Greenland and the Canadian Archipelago. This ice is now breaking up, due to high temperatures and strong cyclonic winds that cause warm rain, high waves and strong sea currents.  [more]

    Nature — Plants Belched 3 Billion Tons of Carbon into Atmosphere During Monster El Nino of 2014-2016
    https://robertscribbler.com/2017/08/14/nature-plants-belched-3-billion-tons-of-carbon-into-atmosphere-during-monster-el-nino-of-2014-2016/

    From the study:
    Measurements taken by NASA’s Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) satellite, which measures the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, suggest that El Niño boosted emissions in three ways. A combination of high temperatures and drought increased the number and severity of wildfires in southeast Asia, while drought stunted plant growth in the Amazon rainforest, reducing the amount of carbon it absorbed. And in Africa, a combination of warming temperatures and near-normal rainfall increased the rate at which forests exhaled CO2.
    Overall, the Nature study notes that 3 billion tons of carbon were added to the atmosphere as a result of harm done to forests and soils during this particularly hot El Nino period. [more]

    Will The August 21st Solar Eclipse Begin A Period Of “40 Days And 40 Nights” For America?
    http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/will-the-august-21st-solar-eclipse-begin-a-period-of-40-days-and-40-nights-for-America

    Next Monday, we are going to witness one of the strangest events in U.S. history.  This will be the first total solar eclipse to ever be seen only in the United States and nowhere else.  Millions upon millions of people are going to flock to areas of the country where the full eclipse will be visible, but everyone in the continental United States is going to be able to see at least a partial eclipse.  There are lots of very unusual numbers associated with this eclipse, but in this article I want to focus on the number 40, and as this article unfolds you will start to understand why.
